That all changed last year with the launch of the UE Boom wireless speaker -- a classic marriage of good design, excellent usability, waterproofing and some phenomenal sound for the size and price.Allan SwannFri, 27 Feb 2015 14:43:57 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/ultimate_ears/megaboom/569133/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedLenco PlayLink6 wireless speakerhttp://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/lenco/playlink6/565820/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedWhat’s great about the Lenco PlayLink6 is that it can function either as a Bluetooth speaker on its own standing, or form part of a multi-speaker, multi-room system in Lenco’s ecosystem. It’s the model above the PlayLink4 that we have already reviewed, and it can put out a bigger sound than that speaker, with the aim of filling a large room.Elias PlastirasMon, 09 Feb 2015 14:32:17 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/lenco/playlink6/565820/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedLenco PlayLink4 portable wireless speakerhttp://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/lenco/playlink4/565696/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedLenco's PlayLink4 is a small, portable, and versatile speaker that can serve a few different functions.

It’s a portable speaker, it can work in a multi-room environment with other speakers, and it doesn’t shun physical controls. Most impressive, though, is its sound quality: it can produce a boom and fill a room.Elias PlastirasTue, 27 Jan 2015 09:19:07 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/bose/soundtouch-portable-series-ii/564788/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedB&O BeoPlay A2 portable Bluetooth speakerhttp://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/bang_olufsen/beoplay-a2/560618/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedIt's odd to think that a small and portable Bluetooth speaker is capable of replacing a traditional home stereo system, but the Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay A2 speaker sure comes close to doing just that.Elias PlastirasThu, 27 Nov 2014 19:41:48 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/bang_olufsen/beoplay-a2/560618/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedLenco multiroom speakers produce punchy sound, yet won't take up too much room in your homehttp://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/559537/lenco-multiroom-speakers-produce-punchy-sound-yet-won-t-take-up-too-much-room-your-home/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedLenco is a brand that started out in the 1940s making high-end turntables, so it knows a thing or two about sweet sounding audio.

Don't feel bad, they all do. There's only so much they can do in that thin enclosure with a tiny bezel around the screen. It's easy to get great sound in your living room, though. All you have to do is buy a receiver, a center channel speaker, a subwoofer, front and surround speakers. Then you take a bunch of speaker wire, and run it from your receiver...Jason CrossThu, 28 Nov 2013 09:01:10 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/532998/how_buy_right_sound_bar_go_your_tv/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedLogitech Z600 Bluetooth Speakershttp://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/logitech/z600/531815/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedLogitech’s Z600 speaker system offers Bluetooth connectivity laptops and mobile devices, and includes a USB adapter for older, Bluetooth-less PCs.Harley OgierThu, 14 Nov 2013 13:16:27 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/logitech/z600/531815/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedJawbone's Mini Jambox aims to pack a portable punchhttp://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/531569/jawbone_mini_jambox_aims_pack_portable_punch/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedJawbone says its new Mini Jambox Bluetooth speaker doesn't have a competitor when it comes to combining portability and sound quality, despite a wealth of similar sized speakers currently available on the market.Ross CatanzaritiTue, 12 Nov 2013 11:15:33 +1100http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/531569/jawbone_mini_jambox_aims_pack_portable_punch/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedJongo expands streaming speaker lineup, unveils subscription music servicehttp://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/524256/jongo_expands_streaming_speaker_lineup_unveils_subscription_music_service/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeedPure first showed off its colorful multiroom streaming audio devices at CES in January, and started shipping the first models in June.
